As Lenny Kravitz says....

I want to get awayyyy! I want to flllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy awayy.... Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

Saturday morning at 7:05 am I am rolling down runway 26 left (or right, depending on variables) towards Atlanta, Georgia! Five colleagues and I are attending the International Reading Association's annual conference - which is in Atlanta this year. It has been a grueling week of getting plans, notes (uh, 9 pages for the sub), materials and everything else ready so that I can be gone for the four school days. We also hosted our annual Curriculum Night and I worked the Book Fair for my dear pal, K (who is going with me on this trip and is my room mate! Woohoo!) My mind is pretty much mush at this point...
But do you know what I am so excited about??!!??? Those of you who know me doooooo -
Check out this plane, baby! It's a Boeing 767-300ER and I have never flown on a 'seven-six-seven' before!!
I
CAN'T
WAIT!!
I've been all over the internet checking out the stats for this beauty and I can hardly believe the luck of this being our aircraft for our flight tomorrow!! WWWHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Okay...I am punchy tired and need to go upstairs and iron and pack for 6 days of 'so-outside-my-box-I'm-not-even-worried!' fun!
I'll wave 'hi' to you as I fly overhead!! WOOOHOOOO!!!
